[GNC] Dependency on AqBanking data (gnucash files referencing NUM in .aqbanking/settings6/accounts/$NUM)

[David H]

If in doubt check the archives @
https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user.  It came through
fine -
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2021-December/098945.html.
I guess nobody has any suggestions/ideas right now perhaps because the devs
have been busy doing the latest release.

Cheers David H.
